Interesting fact
The ½ Penny coin from Fiji featuring George VI, minted between 1949 and 1952, has an interesting fact associated with it. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was actually minted in error, as the Fijian penny was not officially divided into halfpennies until 1953. This mistake has made the ½ Penny coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
